1
00:00:00,240 --> 00:00:04,200
Speaker 1: So what do you do for a home round hitter run? Oh? Well, uh,

2
00:00:04,280 --> 00:00:06,960
Speaker 1: as in coaching, this is what you talk about. Next

3
00:00:06,960 --> 00:00:10,520
Speaker 1: man up. Um, you're always prepared for that. We're prepared

4
00:00:10,560 --> 00:00:14,360
Speaker 1: for that and all off season. And I've always told

5
00:00:14,920 --> 00:00:18,040
Speaker 1: the guy that's not playing, he's a second stringer in

6
00:00:18,040 --> 00:00:20,479
Speaker 1: this case a Wayne Goldman, who's the starter this week?

7
00:00:20,720 --> 00:00:24,000
Speaker 1: You always prepare like a starter. So this is his opportunity.

8
00:00:24,000 --> 00:00:26,080
Speaker 1: I can't wait. But at that what is it amount

9
00:00:26,079 --> 00:00:27,760
Speaker 1: of way? And that makes you think that he could

10
00:00:27,760 --> 00:00:31,120
Speaker 1: be successful in that role? Well, uh, he certainly has

11
00:00:31,160 --> 00:00:34,520
Speaker 1: shown flashes when he's got his ability to do it. Um,

12
00:00:34,560 --> 00:00:38,360
Speaker 1: he's proven this year he's running at a high level,

13
00:00:38,800 --> 00:00:41,199
Speaker 1: he's caught the ball, well, he's protected. Well, that's what

14
00:00:41,280 --> 00:00:43,480
Speaker 1: you have to be able to do. But as a starter,

15
00:00:43,600 --> 00:00:45,240
Speaker 1: you have to be able to do that for the

16
00:00:45,360 --> 00:00:47,720
Speaker 1: length of the game. That's what gets to be determined.

17
00:00:47,760 --> 00:00:50,239
Speaker 1: I can't wait to see that happen Tampa. Man, no

18
00:00:50,320 --> 00:00:52,520
Speaker 1: secret that their goal was to shut down Say Kwan,

19
00:00:52,600 --> 00:00:54,440
Speaker 1: what did they do obviously before you got hurt? That

20
00:00:54,760 --> 00:00:57,760
Speaker 1: really limited the run game on Sunday. I think they

21
00:00:57,760 --> 00:00:59,880
Speaker 1: played to their goal. Their goal was they were not

22
00:01:00,000 --> 00:01:04,160
Speaker 1: and let um the running game, specifically Sae Kwan in

23
00:01:04,200 --> 00:01:07,640
Speaker 1: this case hurt him. But as Sake one said, and

24
00:01:07,720 --> 00:01:10,520
Speaker 1: I believe strongly, you love to have a really good

25
00:01:10,600 --> 00:01:13,760
Speaker 1: running game, but the most important thing is winning. And

26
00:01:13,800 --> 00:01:15,520
Speaker 1: if they're going to overplay the run, then you can

27
00:01:15,600 --> 00:01:18,560
Speaker 1: hurt them in different areas. And so if if you

28
00:01:18,600 --> 00:01:21,320
Speaker 1: give up on one side to be successful in the other,

29
00:01:21,600 --> 00:01:25,000
Speaker 1: all we care about in the backfield tight ends, receivers,

30
00:01:25,160 --> 00:01:27,560
Speaker 1: scoring points, winning the game. What made you guys so

31
00:01:27,640 --> 00:01:30,280
Speaker 1: comfortable with Wayne and with bringing up film and they

32
00:01:30,319 --> 00:01:32,920
Speaker 1: didn't necessarily need to look on the outside for somebody

33
00:01:32,959 --> 00:01:35,720
Speaker 1: for the next I don't know, four or six, eight weeks. Yeah,

34
00:01:35,800 --> 00:01:38,640
Speaker 1: I think that, uh, that's confidence, and I think it's

35
00:01:38,680 --> 00:01:42,000
Speaker 1: a great shout out to both guys that we saw

36
00:01:42,040 --> 00:01:45,360
Speaker 1: what we had. Um. I think our personal people always

37
00:01:45,360 --> 00:01:48,440
Speaker 1: try to improve your talent, but the bottom line is

38
00:01:48,440 --> 00:01:50,960
Speaker 1: they looked around what they like what they had. I

39
00:01:50,960 --> 00:01:53,280
Speaker 1: think that's a compliment to both guys, and now those

40
00:01:53,280 --> 00:01:55,880
Speaker 1: guys get their opportunity to prove that confidence in them

41
00:01:55,960 --> 00:01:57,840
Speaker 1: by playing well this weekend. How much input do you

42
00:01:57,880 --> 00:02:00,040
Speaker 1: have over that sort of a decision If everyone of

43
00:02:00,080 --> 00:02:02,480
Speaker 1: you guys from your group goes down. Are you in meetings?

44
00:02:02,480 --> 00:02:05,560
Speaker 1: Are you giving input? How does um? I'll just say

45
00:02:05,600 --> 00:02:08,080
Speaker 1: as coaches and all the time when we were asked

46
00:02:08,480 --> 00:02:11,160
Speaker 1: a lot of times asked. But when you're asked, then

47
00:02:11,520 --> 00:02:15,840
Speaker 1: I'll give my opinion. But obviously that's above my lane.

48
00:02:16,160 --> 00:02:18,880
Speaker 1: So the bottom line is, and I've always believed this

49
00:02:18,919 --> 00:02:21,120
Speaker 1: as a coach, I'm coaching as hard as I can

50
00:02:21,200 --> 00:02:23,919
Speaker 1: the guys I have on the team, and we've shown

51
00:02:23,960 --> 00:02:26,840
Speaker 1: confidence and the guys that are there, Otherwise they wouldn't

52
00:02:26,880 --> 00:02:29,080
Speaker 1: be here. And so I can't wait to see the

53
00:02:29,120 --> 00:02:31,519
Speaker 1: opportunities and that's going to happen when they get a

54
00:02:31,600 --> 00:02:33,560
Speaker 1: chance to go out there and do it. On Sunday

55
00:02:33,600 --> 00:02:35,239
Speaker 1: along those lines, when they bring players in for a

56
00:02:35,280 --> 00:02:37,320
Speaker 1: workout of your position, are you even there or is

57
00:02:37,320 --> 00:02:39,840
Speaker 1: that all? You're there? I'm always there, that's right. I

58
00:02:39,880 --> 00:02:42,799
Speaker 1: get the chance to see every player that comes in.

59
00:02:42,880 --> 00:02:46,960
Speaker 1: And again there's a lot of opinions taken, but as coaches,

60
00:02:47,480 --> 00:02:49,520
Speaker 1: we take who is given to us in a roster

61
00:02:49,560 --> 00:02:52,560
Speaker 1: and won't make that happen. But yes, every coach when

62
00:02:52,560 --> 00:02:54,720
Speaker 1: there's a guy working out for the position, they're always

63
00:02:54,720 --> 00:02:58,000
Speaker 1: at their workouts. You know what Penny has always said

64
00:02:58,080 --> 00:03:00,760
Speaker 1: he can be a half bag. If you did, I mean,

65
00:03:00,919 --> 00:03:03,440
Speaker 1: is he your backup half back now or does Hillaman

66
00:03:03,520 --> 00:03:06,279
Speaker 1: move into their Well, that's going to yet to be determined.

67
00:03:06,320 --> 00:03:09,400
Speaker 1: But I think uh Eli is always telling to me

68
00:03:09,480 --> 00:03:11,960
Speaker 1: that he's a half back by trade. But the bottom

69
00:03:12,000 --> 00:03:14,800
Speaker 1: line is, um, he is shown that he has some

70
00:03:14,840 --> 00:03:17,960
Speaker 1: ability to run the ball. Um, we'll be prepared for

71
00:03:18,000 --> 00:03:20,920
Speaker 1: that role if necessary. Um. I'm excited to see what

72
00:03:21,000 --> 00:03:23,040
Speaker 1: Hellaman is gonna do. I think he's gonna show what

73
00:03:23,080 --> 00:03:25,200
Speaker 1: he's showed in the preseason. He showed a lot of

74
00:03:25,240 --> 00:03:27,360
Speaker 1: good stuff and so I can't wait to see how

75
00:03:27,360 --> 00:03:29,799
Speaker 1: he's gonna do when he does gets his opportunity, as

76
00:03:29,800 --> 00:03:32,520
Speaker 1: well as elim and showing you since he got here

77
00:03:32,520 --> 00:03:36,800
Speaker 1: in camp till now that well, I think what he's

78
00:03:36,840 --> 00:03:39,840
Speaker 1: really showed is that he's been very good and very

79
00:03:39,880 --> 00:03:44,040
Speaker 1: decisive in the run game. Um. But in the key

80
00:03:44,160 --> 00:03:48,320
Speaker 1: for all running backs, can you run the ball effectively? Two,

81
00:03:49,000 --> 00:03:53,640
Speaker 1: can you protect the quarterback? Three? Can you run good routes?

82
00:03:54,160 --> 00:03:57,480
Speaker 1: And most importantly can you protect the football? And he's

83
00:03:57,520 --> 00:04:01,600
Speaker 1: been good in all four phases. So I need him

84
00:04:01,640 --> 00:04:04,400
Speaker 1: and that's the challenge of him to do that on Sunday.

85
00:04:04,920 --> 00:04:10,280
Speaker 1: You obviously built a relationship with I'm just curious if

86
00:04:10,280 --> 00:04:12,640
Speaker 1: you could share a little bit the mentality. You've been

87
00:04:12,640 --> 00:04:14,400
Speaker 1: around a long time in this league. You know what

88
00:04:14,480 --> 00:04:18,320
Speaker 1: happens when the star goes down. How difficult and challenging

89
00:04:18,360 --> 00:04:19,839
Speaker 1: is it going to be for him and for you

90
00:04:19,839 --> 00:04:22,680
Speaker 1: guys to kind of slow him down a little bit

91
00:04:22,720 --> 00:04:24,480
Speaker 1: and say this is what we need you to do

92
00:04:24,720 --> 00:04:27,320
Speaker 1: versus what you want to do. Absolutely, I think that,

93
00:04:27,680 --> 00:04:29,320
Speaker 1: like you said, I've been in the league. I've been

94
00:04:29,360 --> 00:04:32,920
Speaker 1: through a couple of rodeos. So the bottom line is, um,

95
00:04:32,920 --> 00:04:34,880
Speaker 1: when you have a player that's gonna be biting to

96
00:04:34,920 --> 00:04:37,880
Speaker 1: get back on the field, and that's his way, Sa

97
00:04:38,040 --> 00:04:42,160
Speaker 1: Kuan is he's competitive and everything he does. And obviously

98
00:04:42,360 --> 00:04:45,560
Speaker 1: I don't have the final say. The medical people, the

99
00:04:45,560 --> 00:04:48,920
Speaker 1: medical staff is gonna tell us when they think he's ready.

100
00:04:49,240 --> 00:04:51,920
Speaker 1: I'll have They'll ask me my opinion or get that,

101
00:04:52,120 --> 00:04:54,520
Speaker 1: and we will try to make sure whenever that time is.

102
00:04:54,560 --> 00:04:56,159
Speaker 1: I don't know when that time is gonna be no

103
00:04:56,240 --> 00:04:58,840
Speaker 1: magical time, but when that time is right, then we're

104
00:04:58,839 --> 00:05:01,240
Speaker 1: gonna try to make or that he is ready to

105
00:05:01,279 --> 00:05:02,840
Speaker 1: play at a level that you can play at the

106
00:05:02,920 --> 00:05:05,880
Speaker 1: high level and protect himself. That's good because you guys

107
00:05:06,960 --> 00:05:09,039
Speaker 1: know that it sounds like he has so much more

108
00:05:09,120 --> 00:05:12,040
Speaker 1: value even behind the scenes than he does on the field.

109
00:05:12,360 --> 00:05:14,360
Speaker 1: How do you make sure you don't lose that when

110
00:05:14,360 --> 00:05:16,560
Speaker 1: a guy is you know, feels like you know, sometimes

111
00:05:16,560 --> 00:05:18,919
Speaker 1: you hear from guys if I'm not on the field

112
00:05:19,240 --> 00:05:21,760
Speaker 1: that maybe my role should be, you know a little

113
00:05:21,800 --> 00:05:24,880
Speaker 1: bit more behind the scenes. Yeah. Um, I just don't

114
00:05:24,920 --> 00:05:26,800
Speaker 1: see that, say Quan either. I think you call that

115
00:05:26,880 --> 00:05:29,720
Speaker 1: really good. Um. But the bottom line is he's done

116
00:05:29,720 --> 00:05:31,800
Speaker 1: a good job of bringing energy to our team. I

117
00:05:31,839 --> 00:05:34,240
Speaker 1: think he's done a lot of that. Um. He's voted

118
00:05:34,360 --> 00:05:38,880
Speaker 1: captain obviously they've seen that in him. UM. But sure

119
00:05:38,960 --> 00:05:41,200
Speaker 1: when he's not able to play, it's gonna be a

120
00:05:41,200 --> 00:05:44,400
Speaker 1: little new role for him. Um. That's yet to be determined.

121
00:05:44,440 --> 00:05:48,320
Speaker 1: But again for everybody, especially the coach, I'm gonna make

122
00:05:48,360 --> 00:05:52,000
Speaker 1: sure that he's safe and good. If he's down there

123
00:05:52,000 --> 00:05:54,560
Speaker 1: on the sideline trying to help his teammates do it,

124
00:05:54,640 --> 00:05:57,320
Speaker 1: and his teammates know that he's there with him. That

125
00:05:57,480 --> 00:06:00,760
Speaker 1: the best way I can answer that the three of

126
00:06:00,760 --> 00:06:04,560
Speaker 1: them on pass blocking, are they all equal or um?

127
00:06:04,800 --> 00:06:07,000
Speaker 1: I I again, that's yet to be determined. I know

128
00:06:07,120 --> 00:06:09,880
Speaker 1: this much when it's happened in the preseason and they

129
00:06:09,920 --> 00:06:12,680
Speaker 1: have been rushed, because all three have all three have

130
00:06:12,800 --> 00:06:15,320
Speaker 1: held up. And that's key. I mean everybody a lot

131
00:06:15,320 --> 00:06:17,120
Speaker 1: of people want to knock about the run game status

132
00:06:17,120 --> 00:06:19,119
Speaker 1: and running, but you have to be able to protect

133
00:06:19,120 --> 00:06:21,960
Speaker 1: your quarterback. That's a must. Um I've had that since

134
00:06:21,960 --> 00:06:23,600
Speaker 1: I've been here. So they've got to be able to

135
00:06:23,640 --> 00:06:25,320
Speaker 1: do that. And they've got to be clean with your

136
00:06:25,440 --> 00:06:29,320
Speaker 1: routes so they the timing is good and so the

137
00:06:29,400 --> 00:06:32,400
Speaker 1: quarterback knows exactly where they're gonna come out. So because

138
00:06:33,040 --> 00:06:36,760
Speaker 1: taking check downs and converting third downs is also important

139
00:06:36,880 --> 00:06:37,640
Speaker 1: part of their role,
